So...EDL the game.

Defend your bangers and mash from the furreners who want you to eat halal kebabs.

First world problem: I want to get a PS4 with my tax return.... but I REALLY don't want the Call of Duty bundle and that's my only option. And unfortunately, GameStop is only taking it for $23.

They the only distributor in your area, or the only one that's letting it go cheap?

[Cloud3514]

Its the only one I found trade in values for. I didnt look very hard, but i cant imagine other sources are much different.

[Tolpuddle Martyr]

Can you get rid of the COD stuff or is it one of those annoying features they make hard to get rid of?

[Cloud3514]

It just comes with a copy of Black Ops III. What I'll probably end up doing is buying the bundle, then turn around and sell the game to GameStop and use the credit to buy inFamous.

Ironbite-oh and Robots.

Yesterday mine was having a PS4 and 2 used games under $40 for 349.99...

I heard somewhere that if you wait until the time when all the school kids get their report cards, you'll find a hell of a lot of cheap consoles on eBay. Not sure how true it is, but it could be worth a shot if you don't mind the wait.

I've heard of that, I'll have to double check if it's still available. I could easily get inFamous and Arkham Knight or Tales of Zesteria with that.

Having seen a playthrough of XCOM 2 I really like it and will probably buy it when possible even though I know the story now.

The new one's got a sort of "V" storyline where the alien invaders have become the establishment hasn't it?

I'm gonna withhold judgment until we learn more about the game.  On one hand, calling a game about fighting ISIL "Islamophobic" is like saying a game where you fight Nazis is "Germanophobic."

On the other hand, it was made by people who think being edgy and offensive for its own sake is a poke in the eye to political correctness.  So really, it could go either way.

I think the storyline where the Islamic hordes invading Europe nods, or perhaps "dog whistles", towards another topical happening which isn't the Islamic State but rather the people running away from them.

If Destructive Creations are equating refugees fleeing ISIS with ISIS itself, and I don't know if they are yet, then that would indeed be as Islamophobic as fuck!

You're absolutely right.
